TO PROTECT THE WELFARE OF STUDENTS, STAFF, and other
clients in housing and residence life (HRL), administrators
must understand what behaviors are unacceptable.
Professionals might make idiosyncratic and unconstrained
decisions when there is no conduct code or set of informal
rules. Informal rules may become norms comprising
normative structures to guide professional actions.
Members of ACUHO-I were surveyed to determine whether a
normative structure for the administrative role performance
of campus HRL professionals exists and, if so, whether
there were differences in the level of objection expressed
for admonitory norms based on personal and institutional
characteristics. Admonitory norms are inappropriate
behaviors deserving of less severe sanctions and are the
focus of this article. Using principal components factor
analysis we identiﬁed ﬁve admonitory norms: (1) Inattentive
Administration, (2) Developmental Disregard, (3) Wielding
Unfair Advantage, (4) Misleading Marketing, and (5)
Inappropriate Personal Relationships. Regression analyses
revealed differences in the level of objection expressed for
the admonitory norms by gender, education level, years
in the profession, and institutional type; there were no
signiﬁcant differences by race/ethnicity. Implications and
recommendations for practice and research are provided.

Inviolable norms
are behaviors
that require
severe sanctions
when crossed;
admonitory norms
are inappropriate
behaviors
deserving of less
harsh sanctions.

Effective campus residence hall communities are intentionally
structured to enhance the academic and personal lives of college
students who reside in them (Anchors, Douglas, & Kasper, 1993).
Among other positive outcomes, living on campus-especially in a
living-learning community-has a positive inﬂuence on students'
engagement, persistence, retention, and graduation (Kuh, Kinzie,
Schuh, Whitt, & Associates, 2005; Pascarella, Terenzini, & Blimling, 1994; Schudde, 2011). Central to the success of residence hall
programs are the staff who run them. These professional, graduate, and undergraduate staff members perform a wide variety of
programmatic and administrative roles and functions.
